Romance Books

@willaful 🥰

I'm about halfway through The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics. I've also got The Ruin of a Rake as an audiobook, and while I'm not 100% blown away by the performance, it does draw out many of the very funny moments.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m reading “I Went on an Adventure and All I Got Was This Barbarian Orc” by Jennifer Cody. It’s a hilarious and silly D&D campaign with some romance. The books are cheap and short.I’m enjoying them. (Disclaimer: I still play D&D with my college buddies even though I am now over 40 😀).

@willaful I've stalled in reading my TBR Challenge book--Darynda Jones' _First Grave on the Right_. For once, it's not the first person (Charley Davidson is a sarcastic flippant smartypants, and so far I like her) but me.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks the #COYER #readathon for November is all about reading new releases, ie books published in 2023, and it started on Sunday. So hopefully I'll catch up on overdue netgalley ARCs, and as such I started Stars in Your Eyes by Kacen Callender last night -- so far so good! I'm also in the middle of listening to Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood, which I'm definitely enjoying, even if her books are very similar, and her heroines a bit eye rolley.
